RCBS 3 Die Roll Crimp Set - Legacy .40-70 Sharps Straight

The RCBS 3 Die Roll Crimp Set for .40-70 Sharps Straight is specifically designed for handloaders working with this classic cartridge in both original and modern reproduction rifles. This three-die configuration addresses the unique reloading requirements of straight-wall cases, ensuring precision and consistency for accurate shooting.

The set includes a steel Sizer Die that sizes the case body and removes spent primers, requiring lubrication prior to sizing to prevent damage. The Expander Die opens the case mouth to the correct diameter for proper projectile fit, while the Roll Crimp Die secures the bullet in place, which is crucial for maintaining case integrity during firing. This die set is tailored to the specific needs of .40-70 Sharps ammunition.

This die set is ideal for shooters who maintain original Sharps rifles, Sharps-pattern reproductions, or custom builds chambered in .40-70. The Legacy series from RCBS recognizes the enduring popularity of black powder and metallic cartridges among enthusiasts, allowing users to achieve the ballistic and mechanical challenges of period-correct ammunition.
